![]() ![]() The fixed point was actually the Teselecta's destruction and the deception itself. ( TV: The Impossible Astronaut) Their plan was foiled when the Doctor convinced the crew of the Teselecta to disguise their ship as him and take his place, tricking the Silence into believing they had killed him at a fixed point in time. ( TV: Closing Time) One Silent was present near Lake Silencio in Utah to observe the Doctor, River, Amy and Rory during the events of the Doctor's death. The Silence tracked down River Song to the Luna University, where they kidnapped her and forced her into an astronaut suit as part of their plan to kill the Doctor. The footage included a recording that Canton Delaware had made of a Silent saying that humans should kill the Silents on sight. The Silence's occupation of Earth was broken when the Doctor issued a post-hypnotic command via the Apollo 11 footage to the entire human race. It was implied they were responsible for the Moon landing because they needed a special spacesuit for Melody Pond for the day when she would kill the Doctor. The Silence had been on Earth since humanity's beginning, secretly manipulating humanity and its development for their own ends. The Silents were first properly encountered by the Doctor in 1969 America although he had been aware of the existence of the Silence for some time. She later broke free of her conditioning and revived him using the remainder of her regenerative energy to save his life. Ultimately, she kissed him with poisoned lipstick. ( TV: A Good Man Goes to War) She later made several attempts on the Eleventh Doctor's life. They were behind the Battle of Demon's Run and the kidnapping and brainwashing of the infant River Song, then known as Melody Pond. The Silence allied with Madame Kovarian, the Church and the Order of the Headless. ( TV: A Good Man Goes to War, The Wedding of River Song) These agents were often fitted with Eye Drives which allowed them to remember the Silents when they turned away. The Silents also employed human or humanoid agents to carry out specific tasks. All memory of the Silents would also be erased from one's memory after an individual looked away from them. Some members belonged to a race of genetically engineered priests (known as Silents) who used post-hypnotic suggestion to manipulate other species into doing their bidding and to make confessions. Madame Kovarian and Tasha Lem apparently led the Silence. While the main body of the Silence attempted to prevent the Doctor from speaking his name at the Siege of Trenzalore, the Kovarian Chapter broke away to try to stop the Doctor through time travel. It was believed that the Time War would begin anew if the Time Lords returned to the universe, and so the Church of the Silence was created to prevent the Doctor from answering the First Question and telling the Time Lords that it was safe for them to return. The Silence was founded by Tasha Lem, Mother Superious of the Papal Mainframe, when she changed the core tenets of the Papal Mainframe to dedicate it to ensuring that "silence would fall" in response to the First Question, sent by the Time Lords to find the correct universe into which they could return. ![]() The Silence feared that if the Time Lords and Gallifrey returned, the Time War would begin anew and the only way to stop this from occurring was to prevent the Doctor from giving his true name to the Time Lords through a crack in time at Trenzalore. This question was later revealed to be a code word intended to allow the Time Lords to know that it was safe to return to the universe from the pocket realm that the Doctor had placed them in to end the Time War. Dorium Maldovar told the Eleventh Doctor that the question was: "Doctor who?", which was a question the Doctor had been apparently running from his entire life. This question was " the First Question, the oldest question in the universe, that must never be answered, hidden in plain sight". The Priests associated with the Kovarian Chapter tried to kill the Doctor to prevent the fruition of a specific prophecy, which stated: "On the fields of Trenzalore, at the fall of the eleventh, when no living creature can speak falsely or fail to answer, a Question will be asked, a question that must never, ever be answered." It was an offshoot of the Church forces of the Papal Mainframe. The Priests of Silencio, more commonly known as ( PROSE: The Day of the Doctor) the Silence, was a religious order of priests created by Tasha Lem. ![]()
